Celery City Craft
With over 51 beers dispensed from celery-shaped taps, every beer lover will find a favorite at this popular Downtown Sanford beer garden. Picnic tables line the expansive patio for a great place to chill under the giant shade trees. Enjoy live music, old school games like shuffleboard and darts, all chased with your favorite pint. Florida craft brews feature prominently as well as beers from all over the US. The 34ft bar inside offers a nice alternative to get out of the heat. I opted for #18...
Wop’s Hops Brewing Company
Sanford’s first micro-brewery has an Italian flair. Co-Owner Greg Piecora named the place Wop’s Hops as a mischievous reference to his Italian heritage. No surprise the menu features pastas and pizzas. But the Must Eat is the giant “Wop-Sicle” – a flavorful and “meaty” meatball drenched in tomato “gravy” speared like a popsicle. The perfect pairing for one of the many micro-brews on tap. Located in the D.O. Brown Building, old home to the Stokes Fish Market, the building’s history is just as...
The Imperial at Washburn Imports
Step inside this antique furniture store for one of the most unique bar settings you’ll find in Sanford, or in all of Florida. And if you think the bar is secondary to the furniture store, think again. Craft cocktails and a selective wine and beer list whet your whistle in style. They serve the classics like Corpse Reviver, Manhattans and Gimlets. Unlike The Imperial’s counterparts in Downtown Orlando and Winter Park, the one in Sanford serves all liquors! Purchasing a new armoire or dining r...
Luisa’s Cellar
Owners Yellymary and Sascha Weyer call Luisa’s Cellar“a wine bar with a beer problem” but their avid local following finds no problem at all with the eclectic bar / wine shop / coffee shop / bookstore hybrid. The space perfectly reflects the tastes of this fun, world-traveling couple, from craft beers and boutique wines, to coffee and books with plenty of 90’s nostalgia mixed in for good measure. German-born Sascha is the beer geek. Puerto-Rican Yellymary is an avid wine lover, lawyer turned...
The District
Inside a 100-year-old building on Second Street, you’ll find this classy gastropub with an evolving menu of American lunch and dinner favorites. I met co-owner Brad Plummer during a recent visit and you can tell he’s committed to a great experience as he zipped around from table to table. Enjoy a refreshing “Sanford Smash” with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Lillet Blanc, and fresh strawberry and basil puree or classic “The District” Old Fashioned with Old Forester and Orange Blossom honey. Take adva...
The Old Jailhouse Restaurant
The “new” kid causing a commotion on the historic block is The Old Jailhouse Restaurant.For the most unique, and casually chic, historic setting to eat and drink in Sanford, step into this beautifully refurbished 1890 building which once served as the site for a blacksmith and wagon shop, livery feed and sales stables, dry cleaners and most notably the Seminole County Jail, from 1914 to 1959. Get ready to be booked, processed and captivated by inventive dishes in a fun setting. For groups of...
The Tennessee Truffle
What started as a pop up is now a full fledged farm to table experience for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Chef/owner Nat Russell offers a fresh spin on southern cuisine and you’re guaranteed to say “I’ve never had it like this before” no matter what you order off the ever-changing menu. The Biscuits and Gravy made with housemade sausage are some of the best in town. Not kidding. I’ve had my share of biscuits, few compare. The Culinary Institute of America graduate makes simple dishes exciting....
Take your taste buds around the world without leaving a few square blocks in Historic Downtown Sanford.
Palate Coffee Brewery
Satisfy your caffeine cravings with beautifully crafted, rich, delicious lattes and cappuccinos at Palate Coffee Brewery. The coffee will bring you in but their “Love Missions” is what truly makes them an excellent spot to chill and catch up with friends or work on your laptop. The baristas are volunteers from the local community and all profits go towards fighting human trafficking, sadly a personal cause of owner Tina Kadolph, a survivor herself. My go-to java of choice is a classic Vanilla...
Wondermade
Owner Nathan Clark didn’t know a simple candy thermometer he bought his wife as a Christmas gift would change their lives for good. And I mean really good! Wondermade artisan marshmallows based in downtown Sanford and are now known around the world, even featured by Oprah and Martha Stewart. Try a classic s’mores marshmallow or their boozy options flavored with bourbon, champagne, or rose! Ice cream flavors include the traditional like rocky road but for those adventurous, try the sweet cornb...
